    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    Summary

    'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'

    I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.

    'No,' he states.

    'No?'

    'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'

    I lean back and fold my arms.

    'Rock…'

    'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'


    Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.

    Summary

    "Grace lifts his head to see Ms. Amber give him a tired smile. 'Ryland, I know you’re a mature and kind boy. One day, you’ll meet all those people you’re destined to love and forget all about big bullies like Mr. Ravenguard.'

    Grace really wishes that was enough. But it’s so hard to be excited about some theoretical people when he wants to have friends that believe him right now. What does it matter that he has all these strings if he still sits alone at lunch? It’s not fair."

    Or, Grace doesn't really get the fuss about this soulmate business, he just wants to live

    Summary

    Jonny d’Ville faces the consequences of his crime on a planet that, for the first time, can adequately enact revenge.

    Pretty indulgent (and intense) whump. I don’t think it’s too graphic but take care.
